I’ll bet Rich has allot of idle time driving 3400 miles. The most important thing about a solid roller is keeping up with the lash. Specially if your running aluminum heads, because aluminum heads expands , adjusting valve lash cold, you always want to be .002 tighter on the lash it’s the opposite with iron heads.

Think I’ve had one Chevy after 10,000 mile wipe out a roller, because he never keep on top of the lash. He complained to me that it was noisy.
